Massive drop in views on kid channels

Here is what drives me crazy, supposedly the algo treats all videos as equal, so never should a channel be discriminated against , so look at this graph, it is a graph of a video which has been slowly rising over the past few weeks, it's one of my 2800 videos which I created over the past 12 years.... I checked it the other day to see where the views were coming from, and I identified 3 videos which were feeding it views under the " traffic Sources " in analytics...so today the video was picking up nicely, starting to breakout, and peaked at 140 views per hour today at 12:00 to 1:00 PM my local time. THEN...out of the blue...it just stopped getting views...it went from 140 vph to 2 vph... it's like suddenly all the videos which were suggesting it, dropped it all at once. This only affected 1 video in my top 25 videos today.... I could understand if 1 traffic source lost the video...but all at once, it is like the video got pulled ....drives me crazy, This happens a lot. Makes me wonder why and how they do this to a single video. Anyway, here is the graph :

I would not read too much into this graph. I know YT is trying to offer "Instant" live results, but my experience has been that they are no reliable. Only long term graphs are really reliable to show anything.

So here is a 48 hour graph from one of my videos. As you can see, it is all over the place.

Here is a one year graph for the whole video.

This graph shows that the video performs pretty consistently over the year and is just coming down back to normal after having a spike. Spikes can happen for many reasons, but my experience has been that they normally occur when someone shares your video on a popular website and it is the talk of the town for a while. So while we might get our hope up when we see a sudden rise, the source of that rise is just temporary and it is just a spike in the normal trend. Long term graphs show us what we should really expect, not live instant results.

Good morning, that is the problem that is not only children's channels, apparently they will extend the rule to attractive content for children, no matter who is directed, if it is considered to be entertaining for children and they will see children, turn off personalized ads, it affects all of us both for children's creators and for those who create recipes vlogs, experiments, trips, comedy, and for those who are not creators it also affects since YOUTUBE will become a lot of content focused on not being attractive to children , leave your comments and support

I have seen a couple of articles and videos posted by this individual. He is very well articulate and obviously has the ability to understand the stipulated order for injunction that the District Court entered. It is my belief that some of his interpretations are erroneous and his true motive is to protect the sizable income that he receives from making content consumed by kids. An income by the way that is so large that he no longer has to use that very expensive law degree he earned. Family vlogging channels are primarily watched by kids. I will give him credit in that so far he is the only creator that I have seen that has fully comprehended the issue at hand, but a lot of his positions have fatal flaws.

The fight needs to be with Google and Youtube LLC which is making moves in direct violation of the Stipulated Order by intentionally reducing views for kid content creators and instead pushing content made for older audiences toward kids in order to preserve precious ad revenue. All of these comments and demand for change is pointless. This is coming from a kid content creator and someone that actually knows how this bureaucratic process works.
